Product Description

What is an MC Number?

An MC number (aka a Motor Carrier Authority) is a unique ID issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial vehicles operating in interstate commerce. It authorizes carriers to transport regulated commodities across state lines and ensures compliance with federal safety and operational standards.

Who is Required to File for an MC Number?

Any trucking company or driver that transports goods or passengers across state lines for commercial purposes must file for an MC number. This requirement ensures they comply with federal regulations for operating in interstate commerce.

Do MC Numbers Authorize me to Legally Operate in every State?

No, MC numbers do not authorize drivers to legally operate in every state. While an MC number allows commercial carriers to transport goods or passengers across state lines, they must still comply with individual state regulations, which may include obtaining additional permits, paying state fees, or meeting other specific requirements for each state they operate in.

Do I Still Need a DOT Number if I Have an MC Number?

Yes, you still need a USDOT number even if you have an MC number. The USDOT number is a unique identifier required for all commercial vehicles. The MC number specifically authorizes the carrier to transport regulated goods or passengers across state lines.
